Abstract

The plasminogen-plasmin system affects tissue fibrosis, presumably by interacting with metalloproteinases (MMPs) and macrophage recruitment. This study tests the influence of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPa) on angiotensin II-mediated hypertensive kidney and heart injury.
